NEW YEAR'S AUCTION!(Central Time Zone)
3 PAGES of FINE MINERAL SPECIMEN and MINERAL COLLECTION Liquidation auctions: Here you will find many old classic and rare specimens from recent collections we've purchased (in particular, we continue dispersing the large and very diverse mineral collections of Bob Trimingham, Herb Obodda, and Dr. Art Soregaroli). There are plenty of unique pieces and classic specimens, both rarities and and gem crystals we seldom see for sale - especially at auction. Enjoy!

This auction features some superb rare species such as Kegelite and Cannonite, tourmalines, a fine old German silver, and a magnificent Herkimer Diamond quartz specimen.
